Qui bono?

Quite a few states are legalizing or looking at legalizing marijuana. From my vantage the process looks coordinated. Perhaps this is purely grass-roots (if you'll pardon the pun), but I suspect the lobbying groups' funding might bear inspection. Is this "big tobacco" or some other group?

Is it a coincidence that the CBD oil hype hit about the same time?


My take on legalization is that we have more than enough problems with alcohol abuse; we don't need a new crop of addicts--even if (as is loudly asserted) its addiction is less destructive than alcohol's.

    Marijuana is largely harmless. I have been using it for over 50 years and I have no addictions at all.

    I have grown and used my own stuff almost exclusively. I have bought very little and enjoy the growing process, both outdoors and indoors.

    Alcohol is powerful and dangerous drug I have stooped using as the benefits are completely overwhelmed by the harm it causes. Its a poison and is converted into a seriously worse poison so the liver can deal with it. That is hard on the body and mind. Its also caused a huge amount harm throughout history.

    Marijuana ... not so much. ;)
